ASE EAST is going to the NM State Fair!
Attention ASE Community,
Please share in congratulating our dedicated high school artist, Caroline Clark for earning 2nd place "Best in Show" for their grade division at The New Mexico State Fair! Caroline was part of a select group of ASE artists who represented our school in this exhibition, which featured talent from public, charter, and private schools citywide. A committee from NMPED judged the artwork, evaluating submissions based on their exceptional execution of the NM Core Arts Standards. Stop by the 'School of Arts' building to support our talented artists. The State Fair runs September 10th-20th. Thank you for supporting our art department and check out this link ASE Art Website to see more of what we do all year!
Appreciated,
Ms. Barren
In addition to our art, keep an eye out for our cheer teams in the parade on Saturday!
